The inaugural running of the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational – the world’s richest thoroughbred horse race, an idea hatched less than a year ago, was off to a flying start as the race was headlined by 2016 Horse of the Year, CALIFORNIA CHROME, and his younger continually improving nemesis, ARROGATE, who shocked race goers by beating him by a 1/2-length in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Classic. The industry leading thoroughbred invitational was contested on January 28, 2017, at The Stronach Group's premier destination, Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and lived up to all the hype and grandeur not only for the whopping purse money but especially the widespread interest of the two top-rated horses in the U.S. locking heads again in a much anticipated and heralded re-match.
